* The 'I like trains' kid from asdf.
* An in-joke among ''[[Lonely Girl 15Lonelygirl15]]'' fans is to speculate that the [[Companion Cube|Purple Monkey]] is an immortal being responsible for [http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Theories_About_Characters/Purple_Monkey every plot twist in the series].
** A long time ago, [http://www.youtube.com/user/reedabook99 Reed] and Chuck Norris made a bet. [https://web.archive.org/web/20090109104900/http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18522&start=60 The loser was supposed to wear a ridiculous cowboy hat.]
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]''
** V3's Bobby Jacks, who after scoring a headshot on another student while his back was turned, was named 'Bocelot' (a reference to [[Metal Gear Solid|Revolver Ocelot]]) by other handlers, who joked about him killing other students with triple ricochet shots, scoring headshots from halfway across the island, and firing his gun and killing a student in V4 a year later.
Line 9:
** Lance Vanguard and Zack Dynamite, two rejected names for Characters in v4.
** A rejected [[Troll]] profile gave us THE GODDAMN BUBBA DOVER. It was a [[Scary Black Man]], with [[Blaxploitation]] tropes [[Beyond the Impossible]]. Rather than being annoyed, it backfired and the handlers of the board seized on this one instead, to the point where any mention of [[Badass]] characters is sure to mention him at some point or another.
* Fans of [http://www.youtube.com/user/kilplixism Kilplix's] ''[[Left 4 Dead (Video Game)|Left 4 Dead]]'' vids will note that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6zpb_HMSjk Con], despite usually just lighting his team (or mainly just [[Kilplix N Friends|Kilplix]]) on fire, has quite the fan base and is thought the be the definition of awesomeness. In fact, Con is so awesome, he could probably kill Chuck Norris with only one Molotov.
* [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]]
** The fandom seems to have decided that [[That Dude in Thethe Suede]] is a badass. And capable of bringing down Insano's reign of terror. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].
** God help Insano in May...
** Proven in the Year 3 event... Suede kicked butt. No wonder Insano didn't show up.
Line 19:
** CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!!!!!
** Don't Fuck With [[Mara Wilson]]
* In-Universe example: [[Cox and Combes Washington|George Washington]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRom1Rz8OA among other things] invented cocaine, threw a knife into heaven (which scared God shitless), he routinely [[Interspecies Romance|made love to]] [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears|bears]], and possibly possessed [[Body Horror|as many as thirty penises]].
* During the third [[Loading Ready Run|Desert Bus for Hope]] charity drive Matt Wiggins turned down an offer for $500 if he wore eyeliner. Hundreds of ridiculous accusations were made about how evil Matt was, including that he invented ''Desert Bus'', [[Star Wars|midichlorians]], and canceled ''[[Firefly]]''. Two public access Twitter accounts carried out the meme (Things Matt Did and Things Matt Did 2). He was eventually redeemed by a) promising to watch ''[[Battlefield Earth]]'', and b) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9mF3mISUeo this].
* The ''Pokemon''-themed adoptable site GPXPlus has [http://gpxplus.wikia.com/wiki/Cloyster_Man Cloysterman], a meme spawned from an entry in the site's Pokemon dress-up contest. If it punches you, you WILL die.
Line 28:
** As of "Ashen Waste", Evan from ''[[Everyman HYBRID]]'' for going after him with a ''[[Batter Up|baseball bat]]'', and the Hybrid crew in general for trying to "[[Car Fu|run the fucker down]]". Again, it didn't actually ''work'', but points for effort.
* [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Katherine Hillard]] is an in-universe example in [[Of Love and Bunnies]], as most female space villains seem to not realize that her [[Heel Face Turn]] was genuine, and as such refer to her as the universe's greatest [[The Mole|mole]] and seducer of the Universe's Greatest Ranger.
* Ashly and Anthony's dad from [[Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?]] is the ultimate badass. Look at any of their videos on Youtube for confirmation, particularly Lips.
* The titular Ninja of [[Ask a Ninja]] often makes astonishing claims about what he and other ninjas can do. Like how a ninja can go through a snowstorm without being hit by a single snowflake, or that they are faster than the speed of light. They are the speed of ''darkness''. He also claims that he killed 4500 people in a day and that the Black Death was a ninja.
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] will take you back to the past, to play the shitty games that suck ass, even if he would rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear.
* [http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/12/year-kenny-loggins-ruined-christmas.html This Hyperbole and a Half entry] treats Kenny Loggins as if he were Chuck Norris.
* In-universe example: [[William Clark]] in [http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=418041 this] [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Civilization (Video Game)|Civilization]] IV''. The [[Fictional Document|Fictional Documents]] state that William Clark (the name of the starting warrior) became a legendary figure in American mythology. According to one legend, fish learned to breathe water so they could hide from him. The author describes his image as [[The Epic of Gilgamesh (Literature)|Gilgamesh]] [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Paul Bunyan]] [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Chuck Norris]].
* [[Image Boards|Anonymous]] has taken on cults, religions, and several national governments and won.
* Bad Horse! He rides across the nation! The Thoroughbred of Sin!
* ''[[EPICMEALTIME (Web Video)|EPICMEALTIME]]'': Muscles Glasses is definitely played up as this, culminating in coming [[Back From the Dead]] and winning a long series of arm-wrestles with various superheroes at Comic-Con.
* Everybody knows that [[The Cynical Brit|TotalBiscuit]] is [[Badass Boast|THE FRICKIN' ARCHMAGE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!]]
* ''[[Agents of Cracked]]'' brings us The Chief, who, among other things, eats lead and craps bullets (so his toilet gets all...shot up, when he poops), rides a triceratops to work, drinks tiger blood milkshakes for breakfast (MILKSHAKES, FOR BREAKFAST!), and personally knows Die Hard (Not Bruce Willis, Die Hard). Turns out he belongs to a pantheon of other such Chiefs, all of whom are equally badass (Up to and including sexually assaulting a mountain).
 
* According to [[Hbi2k]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ISX7CxOfA Rex Griswold] is our true overlord.
